Streamlining Transportation Operations: How 3PL Freight Brokers Offer Comprehensive Support Through Managed Transportation Services

3PL Freight Broker

In the world of logistics and transportation, businesses often require third-party solutions to handle the complexities of their supply chains. 3PL (third-party logistics) freight brokers like Translogistics (TLI) offer comprehensive transportation support to businesses, which includes managed transportation services that utilize various tools and services to streamline the transportation process.


Logistics Technology

One of the critical services provided by 3PLs is transportation management systems (TMS) technology. This technology helps businesses manage their transportation operations by optimizing routes, tracking shipments, managing inventory, and generating reports. TLI's TMS technology provides businesses with real-time visibility into their supply chain, enabling them to make informed decisions that can improve their operations.


Freight Claims Management

Another essential service offered by TLI is freight claims management. Freight claims can be complex, and if not handled properly, can result in costly losses for businesses. TLI's claims management service helps businesses navigate the

complex process of filing claims and ensures that they receive the compensation they deserve.


Freight Invoice Audit

Freight invoice audit is another critical service offered by TLI. Inaccurate invoices

can lead to overcharges and negatively impact a business's bottom line. TLI's

freight invoice audit service checks invoices for accuracy, ensuring that

businesses only pay for the services they receive.


Mode Optimization

Mode optimization is another area where TLI can help businesses save money. TLI's team of experts can evaluate a business's shipping requirements and recommend the most efficient and cost-effective modes of transportation. By optimizing shipping modes, businesses can reduce transportation costs while still meeting their delivery commitments.


Logistics Data & Analytics

Business reviews, such as key performance indicators (KPIs) and forecasting, are also critical components of TLI's managed transportation services. By reviewing a business's performance metrics, TLI can identify areas where improvements can be made and help businesses develop strategies to meet their transportation goals. If you are interested in this service offerings, then investigate a managed transportation case study. Forecasting helps businesses plan for future transportation needs and ensure that they have the capacity and resources to meet those needs. Perhaps you are considering a new distribution center, or adding a carrier to your shipper profile, partnering with TLI will enable data-driven decision making.


RFP Management

Contract management is another area where TLI can provide support to businesses. TLI's team of experts can review and negotiate contracts on behalf of businesses, ensuring that they get the best rates and terms possible. RFP (request for proposal) management is also part of TLI's contract management services. TLI can help businesses create RFPs, evaluate responses, and select the best carrier partners.


In conclusion, 3PL freight brokers like Translogistics (TLI) offer comprehensive

transportation support through managed transportation services that include TMS technology, freight claims management, freight invoice audit, mode

optimization, business reviews such as KPIs and forecasting, contract

management, and RFP management. By leveraging these services, businesses can streamline their transportation operations, reduce costs, and improve their

overall supply chain performance.
